Isothermal Traction Company Con templates Construction of Trolley Line from Gastonia to the Moun tain City, Distance of One Hun dred Miles. Last week The Gazette told its readers about the launching of a corporation under the name, Isother mal Traction Company, to build a trolley line from Gastonia to Ruth erfordton, a distance of 50 miles. As previously stated such a line would open up rich territory as yet un touched by railroad facilities and would do much toward the develop ment of a fertile territory. Now comes the information that this company is seriously contemplating the extension of this line fifty miles further to Asheville, the queen city of the mountains. The story is thus told by The Charlotte Chronicle of Wednesday: "From GaBtonia to Asheville, a distance of nearly 100 miles, it is now proposed to build a modern elec tric railway to penetrate the moun tain country and to give a long-needed and better connection between the eastern piedmont section and the great section about Rutherfordton end to the west on to Asheville. "The Isothermal Traction Compa ny, which was incorporated In Ral eigh some weeks ago, Is behind the movement and is already making an investigation 'of the situation and within two week "will have a full corps of surveyors in the field who will prepare . an exhaustive report, under the direction of experts, and this will be submitted to the pro moters of the new road who will then carefully consider the proposi tion,- and will be ready to go ahead with the selling of securities. "Capt. K. S. Finch, of Charlotte, is at the head of this big industrial movement to connect the lower pied mont region with the mountains, and he has interested in the plan a num ber of monied men and financiers of the North, who are now awaiting for the report of the experts as to the cost of building, probable returns, etc., of the projected electric rail road. "A representative of the Interest ed financiers who propose to under write the securities and paper of the new company, spent yesterday in the city with Capt Finch, going over the situation and studying the details of the plans of the Isothermal Traction Company. He was highly pleased with the outlook and spoke in the most flattering terms of th'e future possibilities of the Southern States, towards which, declared the visitor, the eyes of the whole nation are now turning. This gentleman is convinc ed of the excellent opening for capi tal not only in the projected line to Asheville, but also in every other Southern industry, and should all of those interested take the same view that he holds, there is little doubt as to the successful, financing of the road In a short while. "This road will not be built to compete with the big system of elec tric lines which the Southern. Power Company and Duke interests are be lieved to have under contemplation and propose to build. It will rather be a tributary line.to the system par alleling' ine Southern Railway, and will not enter the territory of the other system. It is believed that Mrs. J. White Ware returned yesterday from a visit to friends and relatives at Klnsrs Mountain. S t TnnA Vnna " Mr. Thomas S. Royster on last Monday, February 28th, completed his eighth year as rural letter car rier on route one from Bessemer City. He made his first trip on the first day of March, 1902. This was the first route established in Gaston county and, it is needless to add, is one of the best. The rural route service, as it relates not only to the county but in general, has no more loyal or enthusiastic advocate and friend than Mr. Royster. It is hard ly necessary to add that he is, at the same time, a firm believer in and ad- vocate of good roads. Mr. Royster does not conceal his pride in the improvements that have taken place on his route since the establishment of the rural mail service eight years ago in the line of good roads, educa tion, better farm homes, etc. His route is in Itself a strong argument in favor of the rural mail service as it demonstrates beyond the perad- venture of a doubt that this bring ing the rural districts into close dai ly touch with the outside world has a most beneficial influence on the people. In addition to being a let ter carrier Mr. Royster Is also an en thusiastic and successful farmer, and derives both pleasure and profit from that occupation. His large circle of friends in the county wish for him continued success In his chosen work. MORE MILLS CURTAIL. Five Other Cotton Factories Join the ' Modena In Cutting lKwn Output . Unless Market. Improves Furth er Curtailment Will Ensue. That many Southern cotton mill are realizing as never before that in curtailment of their output lies the only means of strengthening the market for cotton yarns and cloths Is becoming more evident each day. Notwithstanding (he fact, as pre viously stated in these columns, that there Is at the present time no con certed action In this line on the part of Southern cotton mills It Is a fact that almost every day adds one or more factories to the list of those that have already decided to use the only effective means of bringing about Improved market conditions, namely curtailment. In Tuesday's Gazette was chroni cled the fact that the Modena Mill, one or Gastonia s largest yarn ana cloth factories, had begun curtailing to the extent of one day and one night in each week during the month of March, the directors having au thorized a still heavier cut after the first of .April If such a course of ac tion was deemed wise by the general manager of the plant, Mr. J. O. White. Wednesday The Gazette learned from Mr. White that five other mills with which he is identified as mana ger have also inaugurated a curtail ment program, shutting down one day and one night In each week. These, like the Modena, will further curtail after April 1st unless the market shows an improvement over the present. These mills, above re ferred to. are the Morowebb, at Dal las; the Hudson, at Hudson; the Whitnell, Lenoir and Moore Cotton Mills at Lenoir. TWO MORE 1V1ILLS JOIN. Wednesday the directors of the Avon Mill and the Gastonia Cotton Manufacturing Company met and in structed the officers of these plants to curtail to the extent of two days each week, cutting the time down to four days. This goes into effect at once and the instructions of the di rectors are that the curtailment be further increased if it is found ad visable or necessary. It is understood that several other mills in Gastonia and at other points in the county are seriously contemplating similar action.

The first few days' treatment helped me greatly and upon using It a while I was made entirely free from any stomach trouble or complaint what ever. Since the cure by Mi-o-na.
